There's a village in Hampshire known as the ghost village: a church, a pond, and a hollow where a manor house stood until its owner had it torn down. Locals say a phantom carriage still races up the old drive, the church sings when nobody is inside, and the lady of the house still passes the churchyard wall.
For this Halloween episode of Portal Investigates, Den and Luke go back over their night at Hartley Mauditt. They test each legend, and talk through a noise in the graveyard that stopped Den in his tracks, a reading Luke couldn't find a source for, and a session by the pond, before weighing up natural causes and giving their verdicts.
The full investigation is on our YouTube channel. Hartley Mauditt is a deserted medieval village in East Hampshire, recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. Its houses were lost over the centuries, and the manor house was demolished in 1798, with accounts still differing on who gave the order and why.
In our Portal Investigates series, Den and Luke head out to investigate the unexplained firsthand, visiting haunted locations and the sites behind local legends. They share their findings honestly—what holds up, what doesn't, and what they simply can't explain—for a grounded take on the paranormal.

S03 E10 | Beyond the Veil: The Woman in Black
A hidden place in the woods. A figure that sent one person running. And two drawings that should never have matched.
This week, a listener named Tom shares an experience that's stayed with him since he was sixteen. Deep in the woods outside his Cotswolds town, he and his friends kept a spot no one else knew about — until a newcomer to the group fled from it screaming, with no explanation. When Tom later admitted he thought he'd seen something there too, the two sat at opposite ends of a table and drew what they'd witnessed. What they turned over matched — right down to a detail neither of them had ever said out loud.
In our Beyond the Veil series, Den and Luke share the real, first-hand accounts sent in by our listeners—the encounters, sightings and unexplained moments they've carried with them, told in their own words. Honest, personal and often deeply unsettling, these are the stories you've trusted us to tell.

Bonus | Beyond the Portal: The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall
She’s the woman on the staircase — captured in 1936 in one of the most famous ghost photographs ever taken, and still debated nearly a century on. In this bonus discussion, Den asks Luke for his take on the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall: the history behind the haunting, the story of that photograph, and the possible explanations for what it really shows.
In our Beyond the Portal series, Den and Luke pick up the cases and conversations that didn’t make the final episode—bonus discussions digging into the threads too good to leave behind.
